Icelandic Orca Project

The Icelandic Orcas research project aims to learn more about Icelandic killer whales and their role in the marine ecosystem. This is a long-term dedicated effort to follow killer whales in Icelandic waters and understand more about their behaviour and the threats they may face. 'To achieve this we use a variety of research techniques, such as acoustic recordings, photo-id, tagging with suction-cup tags, biopsy sampling and underwater observations of their interactions with prey.'(from the website)
